I am considering either a John Deere 2210 or a MF GC2300 and would appreciate any input I can get to help me decide what to buy. I wasn't aware of the 2210 model until I started out looking at the X595 garden tractor.
The 2210 seems to be a better value for me since both models are the same size and similar in power. The base model 2210 is less expensive and it includes a 3-point hitch and rear PTO which are expensive options on the X-series. The only drawback seems to be a bigger turning radius for the 2210. Anything else I should be aware of?
As background to my thinking about tractor size, I mow about 2 acres of smooth lawn with few obstructions so I'm planning to get a 60/62" mid-mount deck. I have a 400' asphalt driveway with about a 50' rise so a 2-stage snow blower is in order for Connecticut winters along with a front end loader for general maintenance work. I just received a deposit on my Simplicity Legacy that was the same wheelbase/width and had similar attachments, but I want to upgrade to 4WD and diesel.
I looked at the Kubota BX too, since all three tractors are so similar, but I found it a bit uncomfortable to use the hydrostatic control with my 6-3 height and long legs. The MF is also a rocker pedal design but it seems more comfortable.

I am in similar situations. The price I got for the JD2210 was $2,000 more than the Kubota BX2200, and the JD595 was antoher $2,000 more than the JD 2210. Even the JD salesman was surprised that their Garden Tractor was more expensive than the sub-compact.

Not sure about price differences between the Kubota vs MF vs Deere; however, I will say the 2210 is a very good cutting machine, and very capable of Front End Loader Work & 3 point work, i.e., 50" rear tiller, blade and rock rake. As for snow removal, I have the front blade 54" and feel you would simply enjoy pushing off your 400' drive with this machine. ....

I don't know where you got the quote for the 2210, but the quotes I got for Kubota 2200 and the 2210 were within $200 of each other. That was with FEL and 62"MMM. $12,200 for 2210. $12,400 for the Kubota 2200.

I have not seen the Massey myself, but I've heard from some have looked at them and were not pleased at all.

BTW, I love my 2210. ....

I'm also very pleased with the 2210, seems like just the perfect size for around the house. My dealer had both the BX and 2210 when I put em both side by side and played with both the 2210 just seemed like a bit more tractor. The price was 12400 with FEL and 62 MMM which was within 50 bucks of the BX. So far,, no regets on the Deere, only got about 9 hours on it.

later

I got my quote in the Maryland area. The JD dealer checked the computer, but he said there are no discounts/rebates availble on the JD2210.

I guess I will go with the BX2200. ....

There are no rebates on the 2210 itself, but there is one on the implements. $200 for each implement ($400 total). Any 2 implements count (MMM, FEL,..etc.) ....

Thanks!

I did not get any rebate - tractor or implement.

I don't think I will go back to the JD dealer not just because of purchase price, but I am thinking about the service and follow-ups. If he is not up-front now, how can I trust him later?

I still think the JD is a better machine than the BX-2200, but I don't think it is working out for me.

Thanks anyway. ....

Here the price difference was less than $300.00 between the Kubota and the JD. The Cockpit and controls were much more comfortable to me personally on the JD. The other brands have 19 % financeing Vs. Jd and Kubota which both run FULL TERM reduced rates, lately as lows 0 %. ....

I have been looking at the John Deere 2210 and the Kabota BX2200. Both with a loader, and mid-mount deck. I had problems getting my hands on the John Deere, in my area (Iowa). They seem to move as soon as they come in. Have now operated both, and felt the John Deere was a much better tractor for the money. The mid-deck is a 62" vs. 60" on the Kabota, and the John Deere loader has a greater lifting capacity. Controls on the John Deere were more user friendly, and it seemed to handle more smoothly. I purchaced the 2210 John Deere with a 210 loader and 62" deck for $12,900. O% finacing is also available for 36 months. ....

I just took delivery of my 2210. It is perfect for my property. I have 5 ac...I actually had the X585, but then found out about the 2210 a week later. My dealer took the X585 back under the John Deere Promise program...The 2210 was $9337. The X585 was $10,900. Of course part of the difference is he charged me tax on the X585, but not on the 2210. I told him I live in a rural area, and it could be considered agricultural use. I paid another $3277 for a FEL, and 62C deck. I too was also concerned about the turning radius of the 2210 vs. the X585. But with the 62C deck, I can not see that much difference. Since the deck sticks further out, the tractor moves better around trees. I would definitely get a 2210. I love mine, and I have test drove both! ....

On the JD promise for those who may not know the 2210 is not covered with that promise. The X serioes is the largest lawn tractor that JD offers. I am pretty thrilled with my 2210. But to be totally honest I probably would have been pretty darn thrilled with any tractor after hand tilling. ....

Correct, the JD Promise does not cover any of the CU Tractors. The X series is as high as it covers...That is why I was glad he had to order the 2210, because I had time to really make sure that is what I needed/wanted. But I knew after I saw it, and read all the posts that is what I wanted...I am truly happy with it. I also have a 4210 that I was going to sell, but they look so good together, I am going to keep both now. I can use the 4210 for the heavy jobs like moving boulders, or digging post holes...The 2210 will be use to cut, and clean the horse stall out..

One more thing, how much are the tillers, and what is the model number? ....

I bought a 2210 thanks in part to all the favorable comments here. Prices run higher in the Northeast; I talked to 3 dealers, all were within $600, the best was $13,450 (after $400 attachment rebates) for the tractor, FEL and 62” deck plus another $2,475 for 47” snow blower. For comparison, the best local price I found for a Kubota BX2200 with FEL and 60”deck was $13,700.
Availability seems to be an issue everywhere…of the 3 dealers I visited, only one had a tractor in stock and it was sold. Luckily, mine should arrive in a couple of days because my dealer located a tractor and negotiated a trade with a 4th dealer, otherwise early-July.
